Anatomy Flashcards
extend
increase the angle formed by a hinge joint
flex
decrease the angle formed by a hinge joint
abduction
move the limb away from the body
adduct
move the limb toward the body
supinate
rotate the limb so the dorm of the manus (or pes) is turned laterally
pronate
rotate the limb so the dorm of the manus (or pes) is turned medially
respiratory system
the respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen and eliminating waster gases such as carbon dioxide
dog and cat respiratory system
- because dogs and cats do not sweat through the skin, the respiratory system also plays an important role in regulation of temperature
- external respiration=exchange of O2 and CO2 that takes place between the air inhaled and lungs
- internal respiration=occurs throughout the entire body and is the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the blood in the capillaries and the cells and tissues of the body
parts of the upper respiratory system
- nostrils
- nasal passages
- pharynx (throat)
- larynx (voice box)
- trachea
nasal passages
“condition the air”
- nasal septum
- nasal turbinates
- frontal sinus
- lined with columnar epithelium with cilia that that project through a layer of mucous produced by goblet cells and glands
sinuses or paranasal sinuses
- “out pockets” of nasal passages that are found within the spaces in certain skull bones (frontal and maxillary)
- some other animals and humans have more than these (spend and ethnoid)
pharynx
- common passageway for respiratory and digestive systems
- at caudal end opens dorsally to the esophagus and ventrally into the larynx
larynx
includes the epiglottis: which when the animal swallows is pulled back to cover the opening to the larynx, which directs swallowed material dorsally to the opening of the esophagus
trachea
- extends from the larynx ventrally through the neck region into the thorax where it divides and becomes the two main bronchi that enters the lungs
- bifurcation occurs at the level of the heart
- tube of fibrous tissue and smooth muscle held open by hyaline cartilage rings (incomplete rings with the opening facing dorsally)
- also has ciliated epithelium
parts of the lower respiratory tract
- bronchi
- bronchioles
- alveoli
- alveolar sac
- hilus
